 To uninstall linux altogether, go thru the 6.2 setup again in text mode until
you get to fdisk. Delete all the partitions. Then save this to the partition
table. Now go back two steps, and save this. Now reboot with whatever windows
media you're going to use, and your linux O.S. will be gone, because the
partions are gone. Proceed normally with the Windows setup.
